X-Men star Hugh Jackman addressed the rumor that he used steroids for his Wolverine role.
Now, the actor has finally put to rest these accusations.
Did he take steroids?
Jackman: No, I love my job.
And I love Wolverine, Jackman said.
And I was like, I dont love it that much.
So no, I just did it the old school way.
Literally the karma is not good for me.
If the deity has anything related to chickens, Im in trouble.
Is it possible to get that big without steroids?
I got the part.
I didnt really know anything about…I didnt, in Australia we dont have wolverines.
I didnt know that was a real animal.
Id never heard of a wolverine.
I thought it was a made-up animal.
You know, like, hes got man hands of steel, made up.
And I was like, perfect, because obviously Im a wolf, part wolf.
Thats why theyre looking like this all the time.
And he goes, What do you mean a wolf?
I remember finally, I did audition, audition, audition.
And then I went to see the head of production.
We were talking, and he said, You know, its just one problem.
I hope the fans are not going to have a problem because the characters meant to be 55.
And I said, Tom, really.
(starts walking while squatting) Its going to be absolutely fine.
Dont worry about a thing.
I literally walked out like that.
And actually in the first movie, Chris, I never had my shoes on.
People were on planks and boxes all around me.
So they went to a great effort.
And I think after a while, they just gave up on that.
The podcast host then asked Jackman how he dealt with Wolverine’s claws.
In that fight, I actually stabbed the double of Mystique.
So in the beginning, I dont know what we were thinking.
They were actually metal, and they were actually sharp.
And I used to practice.

So I had to adjust.
So Id practice, practice, and I would follow through.
Ive stabbed my thighs, I had scars.
I still have scars on my thighs."
She forgot to move her arm.
And I literally stabbed.
It went about this deep into her arm.
And Ill never forget it.
Ive literally just stabbed someone for the first time in my life.
And she just the blood was burbling out, like bloop, bloop, bloop.
It was starting to come.
And she just like this, and she goes, Ive been stabbed by Wolverine!
And it was a badge of honor for her.
